Corporal punishment was pretty much everyone's favourite spectator sport at my school

we always tried to look in from the playground if a boy was being caned. You could not actually see the boy bending over but you could see the swing of the cane, and especially if the window was open the unmistakeable soung of the cane striking some boys bottom.

@chikki only the headmaster caned boys in private the other teachers usually administered any punishments in front of the class. Particularly serious offences were sometimes dealt with in front of the entire school at the end of morning assembly.

@Tuscan As a deputy i never caned a boy in front of the school nor did the head. When i was at school i saw six public canings in assembly in six years. To my regret i was actual in one of these. Some of us were envolved in a fight with another school in the park. We were reported and had to see the head at lunch. We were told our offence and informed that next day in assembly were were to come on stage in just pe shorts (no pants) and with the school watching would get six of the cane on our bottoms for disgracing the school. (I and the other nine, were clearly on top of the fight. We do wonder if we had really beaten them up we may not have been caned. Yes, we may have been let off as we were defending the honour of the school !!!)
I can tell you it was horrid waiting for the next day knowing in assembly i was going to get six of the cane and the head used a thicker cane than teachers and really whacked your bottom. I was greatful that i was allowed shorts. That gratitude was short live as the first boy was called to the chair to bend over with his bottom facing the assembly. To my shock and thst of others he was told to remove his shorts. He was caned, as were the rest of us. The sound of the cane echoed around the hall each time it landed on the bottom. We had to stand, in the nude, hands on head with bottoms facing the assembly until it ended. It was about 45 minutes of agony standing their not daring to rub our throbbing bottoms. Some of the boys enjoyed seeing us caned but some were really scared.
